    Ok so I am rather pleased to be on the forum. I am 57 years young and have recently been divorced. I had a bonnie in my younger days gave that up when I got married, now thirty years and four babies later I have decided that I have had enough of being a house mouse and it is time to have some fun again. So I bought a 99 955i that needed a lot of work, I have stripped it down polished the wheels, frame and cases. Now I need some help! Not with the mechanical side, I know my way around a socket set, I can weld paint and I know how a drill works. Basically the plastics are totally finished I have trawled the web but cannot find replica sets and ones in breakers are little better than the ones I have! So my questions are
    1 does anyone know of any replica plastics?
    2 I have seriously considered going the Street fighter route can anyone recommend an evil looking cats eye faring etc?
    Yep I am no shrinking violet! However, I am hoping to find like minded people to meet up with, ralies etc. I was originally looking for another bonnie but the prices are crazy now for a good one (wish I had kept mine now lol)
    Thanks for any assistance anyone can offer me.
    Hope to see you on the road!

    You might chat to Arnolds Fairings in Stourbridge to see if a refurb is affordable......it is certainly possible.

    Thanks for your welcome. I think I will have to original Triumph parts are crazy money! I really wanted to bring the old girl back to standard but that is not going to happen, far too expensive.!
